extra right padding/margin in IE6

Sent by Alan K Baker on 19 June 2008 01:01


Are you re-working the site or are you constructing it?

If you're re-working it, maybe you didn't get as far as removing or converting stuff, but if you're
constructing it, might I suggest that you dump the tables and the JavaScript and construct it
entirely with HTML and CSS. Your menus will be much more controllable with lists defined by CSS and
it will be much easier to sort out the expanding box issues.

You have referenced a stylesheet for IE6 by a conditional in your HTML header, but you have a space
between IE and 6, so the condition will not be met.
Also, I can't find StyleSheetIE6.css on your site, to see if it would have corrected your expanding
boxes.

BTW one more thing, you have spelled "Transitions" incorrectly in your Fathertime News/New site
launched column. You have an 's' instead of a 't'.

Regards, 
 
Alan.

  Subject: [css-d] extra right padding/margin in IE6


  I've got a weird issue with a site that I'm working on.

  URL: http://www.fathertime.com/dev/
  CSS: http://www.fathertime.com/dev/StyleSheet.css

  I've got DIVs that are a specific width with specific padding/margin and a 
  background image (the "Auctions", "Contact Us", and "Your Account" boxes). In 
  Firefox 3 and IE7, these DIVs are exactly as they're specified.

  In IE6, it's a different story. The boxes extend 10px or so farther to the right 
  than they're supposed to. You can see it on the right when you compare the "Your 
  Account" box and the "Sponsored Ads" box. Both are supposed to be 162px.
